Worm and Botnet Trapper System Using Honeypots Yan Gao & Usman Jafarey
Purpose? ● To build a honeynet to trap botnet and worm behavior in darknet addresses. ● Collect data for worm and botnet detection.
Tools ● VMWare Create virtual machines to use as honeypots Currently using VMWare server beta version with two virtual machines of Windows XP and two of Linux Red Hat Each honeypot has an internal IP to communicate with the dispatcher ● Click Firewall + Dynamic NAT Dynamic mapping table to maintain traffic balance between honeypots ● Chose Click for this purpose after Honeywall was determined to not suit our purposes
● Progress since midterm: Configured Click to rewrite IP packets entering beetle ● Problems: Sending packets from beetle back out into the Internet ● Seems as though packets are being blocked by firewall
● One thing is for certain: There is an enormous amount of traffic entering the darknet
● Future work: Finding out exactly what the problem is with traffic leaving beetle and fix it Install software to analyze traffic and activity on honeynet Collect data
